A WWE Superstar has expressed his preference to face AJ Styles in what could potentially be his final match if he decides to return to the ring.
Bobby Roode, who has been sidelined for over 600 days, revealed that he would consider stepping back into the ring to continue his decades-long rivalry with The Phenomenal One.
Roode, known for his past encounters with Styles across different wrestling promotions, last competed for WWE in June 2022 before undergoing neck surgery.
In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Roode shared his openness to the idea of facing Styles in a final showdown, stating, “You never know. I wanted that, I did.” He reflected on a moment during the last Royal Rumble where he and Styles shared a memorable encounter, sparking speculation among fans.
Although Roode has been medically cleared to compete again, he emphasized the importance of a compelling storyline, indicating that he would only return to the ring if there were significant emotional investment from the audience.
For Roode, a feud with Styles presents the opportunity for such engagement, as they never had the chance to face each other in a singles match before.
